Hey there, I'm a new comer to growing magic mushrooms. I have been growing an e-z grow kit from homestead books (some kind of ps. cubensis with small diameter caps), and everything was going well until last week when I noticed a snow white and fluffy sort of mold taking over my bag. I harvested enough mushrooms to make 12 dried grams before I noticed this mold. Now the mushrooms look sickly and have a brownish hue on the stems. I am pretty sure that these shrooms are goners, yet what I am concerned about are some shrooms that I picked and dried that looked very healthy but had a little bit of this white mold growing on their stems. The trace amounts of this cotton-like white mold on the stems seemed to disappear in the dehydrator, but is this stuff toxic to consume? Should I toss the ones that had a little mold on them?And are there any factors that bring about this kind of mold?
Thanks

Also, how fast did it spread. Cobweb mold will take over the whole surface in just a few days.

If it was slow and white, it was probably mycelium. Fast and grey = cobweb.

But just for the record cobweb won't make your mushrooms toxic.

It is very normal to mycelium to 'fuzz up' at different stages of growth. And like the previous poster said it's also normal to see some fuzzy mycelium growing on the base of the stem. If it is excessive, the tub needs more fresh air, also as previous poster said about humidity.

i dont know if u wanna call it purple... but def gray... I think that it looks totally different than myc and easy to tell the difference... but thats just me... if u spray the cake with DILUTED H2o2 it should clear it up.

well, i definitely have some cobweb. as for the purple looking one, and it is for sure a purpley grey, we will be getting rid of that one. for the h2o2, dilute it half and half? also, will the spray be safe for the massive amount of new growth i have on that cake.
sorry i sound so in the dark, this is the first time growing and it has been an interesting learning experience.

Psilocybin mushrooms possess psychedelic properties. They are commonly known as "magic mushrooms" or "shrooms", and are available in smart shops in many parts of the world, though some countries have outlawed their sale. A number of other mushrooms are eaten for their psychoactive effects, such as fly agaric, which is used for shamanic purposes by tribes in northeast Siberia. They have also been used in the West to potentiate, or increase, religious experiences. Because of their psychoactive properties, some mushrooms have played a role in native medicine, where they have been used to affect mental and physical healing, and to facilitate visionary states. One such ritual is the Velada ceremony. A representative figure of traditional mushroom use is the shaman and curandera (priest-healer) María Sabina. Medicinal mushrooms Currently, many species of mushrooms and fungi utilized as folk medicines for thousands of years are under intense study by ethnobotanists and medical researchers. Maitake, shiitake, and reishi are prominent among those being researched for their potential anti-cancer, anti-viral, and/or immunity-enhancement properties. Psilocybin, originally an extract of certain psychedelic mushrooms, is being studied for its ability to help people suffering from mental disease, such as obsessive-compulsive disorder. Minute amounts have been reported to stop cluster and migraine headache

Psilocybin mushrooms (also called psilocybian mushrooms) are fungi that contain the psychedelic substances psilocybin and psilocin, and occasionally other psychoactive tryptamines. There are multiple colloquial terms for psilocybin mushrooms, the most common being magic mushrooms or 'shrooms. And Psilocybe cubensis is a species of psychedelic mushroom whose principle active compounds are psilocybin and psilocin. Psilocybe cubensis belongs to the Strophariaceae family of fungi and was previously known as Stropharia cubensis. The mushroom's cap is reddish-cinnamon brown to golden brown in color with white to yellowish stipe and will turn bluish/greenish when bruised.
